Animal power for rural Papua New Guinea

In some rural areas of PNG, the use of draft animals is becoming important in agricultue farming. Draft animals can be used to perform a wide range of activities such as transporting produce to the market, ploughing and land preparation, carrying people to the gardens, and many others.
